The house buying process seems designed to drive me slowly batshit. I swear the broker contacts me roughly every 48 hours with an even crazier request. The latest is a copy of my actual social security card. Mind you I think the last time I saw the thing was in college. Who in the hell needs an actual copy of someone's social security card?

Gah.

So anyway, this means I'm going to be hiking over to the social security administration office on my lunch break tomorrow to get a copy of said card. I have to think this won't be the last ridiculous request before the house is actually mine. I just keep telling myself it'll be worth it in the end.

Speaking of, I met with the owner of the park yesterday and though a bit overly chatty, I quite enjoyed it. I did find out I can put up the fence around my yard that I plan to and that Comcast does not cover the park so if anybody here goes with DirecTV and likes it, lemme know. They're in the forefront right now of my choices.

Also my new yard is going to require some serious work. There's a tree growing in front of my shed and two large black barrels that may, or may not, have been used for composting at some point. Also interestingly the people seem to have left a gorgeous little stone Buddha out there. I've always wanted one of those so I really hope they've abandoned it. I shall be very happy to adopt it :)

I haven't had any woes with DirecTV. If you use AT&T for your local and/or long distance phone and/or DSL, I think you can get bundles with DirecTV that may save you some coin. (Although at that point, you might should look into whether AT&T provides U-Verse service there - record four channels at once...)

The only catch is that you'll have to use their DVR. I don't know if you can even attach a TiVo or other 3rd party DVR to their service, or indeed anything other than analog cable. On the other hand, you can program the DirecTV DVR over the web on days you forget to set it...
